GDT: #5 - 10/13/17 | RANGERS @ blue jackets | 7:00 - MSG, NHLN

[Ori]

We`re closer to Rasmus, lol.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

I'm not watching another game until AV is fired.

Lol, that is a whopper of a lie.

 

[bouds]

They were miserable in Toronto, and stayed in the locker room for the 3rd. How does a team come out that flat for the last 20? Bunch of deadweight on this team.

 

[hi]

I am alarmed

 

[trilobyte]

Looked good for a while but I guess it's how you finish...hehehe (glum)

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Yea and if you'll recall, Taylor Pyatt was a regular in the lineup until Dec/Jan.

What is with AV's obsession with Desharnais? He really sucks.

It'd be nice if we had a real #2 C

 

[Ori]

It could be worse - we could lose 4-1 there, Zucc with a fantastic defensive play in the 3rd.

 

[NYR]

It wasn't from lack of effort and Hank was good.

Wrong players, wrong system...

 

[bl02]

Maybe glass half full approach isn't gonna work this year. How many on here would truly be on board for going for a top 1-2 pick? I'm on board with it. Sacrifice a season or two but its never gonna happen.

 

[tlallstar6]

average hockey team playing below-average hockey

recipe for disaster

 

[mike14]

It'd be nice if we had a real #2 C

Miller will do

There's an obsession with a lot of shitty forwards. No idea how that man's mind functions.

 

[JT Kreider]

Keep AV actually, let the losses pile up and get our Erik Karlsson

I have been saying this since the second the buzzer sounded to end Game 6 against Ottawa last year.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

While I agree the Rangers have better defenseman then either buffalo or Dallas. Maybe you like AV style of coaching me personal can’t stand it. No emotion no matter what the team does. I’m not saying Lindy should be the coach but AV is not the answer.

Uh...what? I said stop treating this like Ruff is thinking AV is so dumb, because Ruff literally couldn't coach breakouts out of a wet f***ing paper bag and his teams all have the same problems with their defensemen. Even in 1999, 2005-06, and 2006-07, his teams' best years. You reply to me by saying I like AV's coaching when in many threads I constantly rip it and say I hate it. Asinine. Seriously man. Where did I say AV was?

And stop with the "emotion" crap, the team should be playing smart. Not with emotion. They should be playing with a competitive edge and driving play. Those aren't emotions. That's a standard method to win a hockey game.

Poor team, poor coaching, poor results outside of Hank, again.

EDIT: the same squads I mentioned had defense issues too, especially 2007. The system sucks.

 

[FJB]

All kinds of it at the beginning of the year. Kreider even got sent to the minors. Pouliot was playing on the 2nd line.

Did he do it the entire season and postseason, or just the beginning of the year? It seems like the last couple years he does it nonstop.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

It'd be nice if we had a real #2 C

I'm not saying he shouldn't be in the lineup, but why is he out there when we need a goal with 30 seconds left?

We have at minimum, 9 or 10 plays who should be in before him.

 

[howztheglass]

This year has reminded me why I hate AV so much.


Fire this clown before it's too late. My #1 choice would be Darryl Sutter, but I'm open to anyone but AV, including Lindy Ruff.

Darryl Sutter complete opposite of AV. Maybe there’s a name to throw in the ring.

 

[Captain Lindy]

TANK!!

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Miller will do

Maybe. It'd be nice if he was actually, ya know, given a try.

 

[bl02]

Valiquette now blaming the goal in the final minute of the second lol.
come on no excuse for playing like that in the third.

 

[Tob]

Please don't post useless things. Definitely don't post 16 useless things.

 

[Revel]

So is everyone going to the AV thread now?

 

[Ori]

Nash ded, no life..

 

[mike14]

Wasted a great effort by Hank.
The 3rd period was just terrible, everyone was passive (especially on the go-ahead goal) and just making stupid decisions with the puck.
